1.

Ensure that the source agent is not running.

2.

Change the current working directory on the source server to the smpagent folder (for example,
/root/smpagent

if the agent was automatically deployed).

3.

Increase the initial memory by changing the following parameters in /bin/hpvmmsmp.conf:

# Initial Java Heap Size (in MB)

wrapper.java.initmemory=512

# Maximum Java Heap Size (in MB)

wrapper.java.maxmemory=1024

4.

Start the server migration Source Agent by doing one of the following at the command line:

Type ./startHPSMPCnt.sh and then press Enter.

Navigate to the smpagent/bin directory and then run the startHPSMPCnt.sh script.

Linux migration might fail when X Windows configuration is not properly formatted

Linux migrations might fail when the X Windows configuration file xorg.conf is not properly
formatted. The configuration file must have at least one ServerLayout section. The presence of log
items like the following examples in the hpsmpsvc.log file indicates that the xorg.conf file
does not have any ServerLayout sections:

2011/03/14 14:19:34 | - The job failed

(LinuxMigrationJob.java:258)

Suggested action

If the migration fails and the X Windows configuration file on the source server does not have at
least one ServerLayout section, do the following:
1.

Rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.bak on the source server.

2.

If required, boot the server in single user mode.

3.

Re-run the migration.

4.

After migration is complete, rename /etc/X11/xorg.bak back to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
on the source server.

Partitions created with third-party partitioning tools do not show the proper file system
type in the server migration wizard

Partitions created with third-party partitioning tools such as Gnome might not show the proper file
system type in the server migration wizard. This does not affect migration.

Suggested action

Proceed with the migration.

Migration hangs if the source server is shut down

In some network, firewall, or router configuration scenarios, Insight Control might fail to recognize
that the source server is no longer available during a migration and remain in migration mode.
